“Merchan has so little respect for the Constitution that he is keeping in place an illegal gag order on me, your President and President-Elect, just so I cannot expose his and his family’s disqualifying and illegal conflicts. I am the only Political Opponent in American History not allowed to defend myself – A despicable First Amendment Violation!” Trump wrote.
Trump also criticized the case’s origins and the handling by Judge Merchan. In another post, he argued that the case should have been dismissed outright.
“Merchan took the Bragg Hoax that, according to all Legal Scholars, should have been dead on arrival and, through his fraud and misconduct, gave it a semblance of ‘life,’” Trump said.
Trump compared Judge Merchan to Special Counsel Jack Smith, another figure he has frequently criticized. “While Deranged Jack Smith was ‘sent packing’ back to The Hague, after losing all of his politically manufactured cases against me, Merchan, who is far worse and even more corrupt than Smith in his fight for my hopeless Political Opponents, just cannot let go of this charade,” Trump stated.
He also questioned Merchan’s motives, suggesting personal conflicts of interest may be influencing the judge’s decisions. “Is it because of his conflicts and relations that he keeps breaking the Law? This has to stop! It is time to end the Lawfare once and for all, so we can come together as one Nation and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
Despite the controversy, Judge Merchan has indicated he may not impose severe penalties. Reports suggest he is unlikely to impose a prison sentence, citing concerns about Trump’s immunity once he takes office. Instead, the judge hinted that an unconditional discharge “appears to be the most viable solution.”
The Hill reported that Merchan rejected a motion to dismiss the case, which centers on 34 counts of falsifying business records. These charges stem from a $130,000 payment made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in 2016, allegedly to secure her silence about an affair she claims occurred in 2006—a claim Trump has consistently denied.

Trump’s legal battles mark unprecedented territory in U.S. politics. He is the first former president to face criminal charges after leaving office. His spokesperson, Steven Cheung, emphasized the importance of allowing Trump to focus on his transition back into the presidency without interference.
“President Trump must be allowed to continue the Presidential Transition process and to execute the vital duties of the presidency, unobstructed by the remains of this or any remnants of the Witch Hunts,” Cheung said.
As Trump prepares to take the oath of office, the tension between his legal challenges and political future remains at the forefront of national attention. With just days to go before the sentencing, the spotlight remains firmly on both Trump and the legal system navigating this unprecedented situation.
